Boohbah Zone is a surreal journey— wait, no, it's not really a journey. It's more of a... thing. A thing with lots of colors. Well, it's kind of like a webtoy, but you actually do stuff in some parts of it. Interactive art? You know what, forget classifying it, Boohbah Zone is an extremely bizarre collection of game-like scenes where you play with color, sound, and flobby-looking hippopotamus-like people things. That sounds about right. Oh, and it's based on the Boohbah television show created by the folks behind Teletubbies, so be sure and bring the kids in on this one.

Boohbah Zone is made up of a few dozen simple mini-game-like scenarios where you can interact with the mouse and watch stuff happen. Similar to Blue Suburbia in some ways (yeah, that's a bit of a stretch there), Boobah Zone drops you in different locales and leaves it up to you to figure out what to do. Maybe you click on the swirly rainbow thing to change its color? Maybe you'll arrange hippopotamus people to face the same direction? Or maybe you'll just watch the strange dance while you turn bits of the music on and off. Who knows. It's Boohbah.

From the opening screen you can either click the bubbles in the sky to visit different mini-games or make the rainbow swirl fill in at the bottom and click the present to select a few more. One consistent element in Boohbah Zone is the "back" icon at the lower left of each screen. Click this and you'll return to the previous screen, just in case what you've stumbled across was too "out there" for your human mind to handle.

So... yeah. Boohbah Zone. Whether the mini-game has a goal or not, you'll have a lot of fun trying to find out.

This Flash toy was around about 4 years ago and was one of my first introductions to how bizarre Flash creations could be.

One of the most amazing things about this Flash is how much the humour and fun transcends age groups. I remember walking in to find people giggling uncontrollably over trampoline people and Boobah shrieks. It was almost as if the toddler minds became unlocked by this mysterious force of rainbows and magic.

BOOBAHS. They are from a good 4 or 5 years ago. They are a freaky version of Telletubbies. I think they're British. How I know? My younger cousins where watching baby TV and hated this show. This is no webtoy. It's for toddlers who can use a computer.

Haha! Lol! FOTFL! ROAD! ROFL! Al the above. I remember a time when I was still in high school and my friends and I entered the art class room as usual every morning before the bell rang and THAT! show was on the tv. I nearly died from brain melt. I still can't believe people actually let their children watch that.

Oh, and I loved this line: "flobby-looking hippopotamus-like people things." A very accurate if not hilarious description.

I have a link to Boohbah for my kindergarten students to play. Its great because there is no advertising to confuse them. They love it and it gives them plenty of mouse practice and cause and effect type play. It was created with little children in mind but poses a puzzle to anyone over 6 years old. Nice review JohnB.

I'm not playing it. It will just make my brain melt, explode, overload, override, or just plainly make me go crazy and make me think I'm a toddler who likes the number 42 and is a super genius and spends all his time watching boo-bahs! *1. it's a starnge teletubbie spoof. 2. Yes, I do have a vivid imagination.*

i get the biggest kick out of reading comments! wow, i remember being like eight and watching this with my cousins and being scared because of how stupid it was. but today i was really stressed and it actually calmed me down. thanks, freakish fake teletubbies that can hide your heads in your neck fat.
